The new North Kansas City YMCA is now open! Through a partnership with the City of North Kansas City, the Y is now operating the former North Kansas City Community Center. The partnership allows us to work together to serve more people and provide more programs to improve quality of life for people of all ages in our community.

Amenities at the new North Kansas City YMCA include:

Dedicated group exercise studios.

Three gyms to offer opportunities such as open gym, family gym, adult sports and more.

Family changing rooms.

Expanded Kids Zone--more space for your children to have fun, learn and play.

Swimming pool and indoor water park with a kid-friendly pool and features including a slide and lazy river.

Expanded wellness floor with new, state-of-the-art equipment.

25-foot rock climbing wall.

Indoor walking track.

The new spaces will offer the opportunity for more group exercise and water fitness classes and more programs for families and active older adults. In addition, North Kansas City Hospital is committed to being the medical wellness partner on site to offer programs ranging from health screenings and the prevention or management of health risks such as obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.

"I am able to give back all that I've learned with a focus on the YMCA's four core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility," Michael said. "I really enjoy seeing a child begin to understand a sport the right way. With a focus on sportsmanship and respect, our kids can learn life lessons applicable to everyday life."

He grew up in Parkville, MO, and holds a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
